There are certain features which good taste demands for each, and the woman who is particular about her correspondence realizes that it is im- portant to be well represented by let- ters presenting the correct appearance.

The plain envelope with the inter- lining of colorful nature for social cor- respondence has had innumerable vari- ations of pattern, but until lately has | not flaunted the presence of a mono- | gram. This appears on the inside of | the fiap and is not_apparent until the | letter 1s opened. This is the newest | feature to be accepted by the most | fashionable and is certainly a departure | trom the usual. The monogram is on the interlining, rather than the en- velope. Such a style of adorning the inside of the flap demands the use of a seal. Otherwise the monogram is lost to view | when the letter is opened. A colored aling wax, in the tones of the mono- am should be sought for this. Only the apex of the flap is secured, and the diverging sides left free. Unless funds are unlimited, such ex- | quisite paper and envelopes served for the more formal social needs A handsome stationery, but a less fas- tidious one, serves the purpose of ordi- ! nary social correspondence. It may be a plain linen finish, bond or vellum with | envelopes lined or unlined, and its use in quantity should not overtax the purse of the one who uses it. It must > purchased with this idea in mind t it can be used generously with- out extravagance. A single sheet letterhead paper is a ‘convenience for semi-business pur- | | poses and in the best of good form for | such frequent necessities as continu- | | ally arise in running a home. In Eng- {1ish stationery for such use a finer grade |of paper is employed than used here | and in a folded sheet style. The ad- | dress is at the upper right and the | telephone number diagonally across the | upper left. Such paper meets many | needs and’ can be stretched to supply | practically all but the most formal social correspondence, because of the folded style and_good stock employed.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT THERE are thousands of women in the United States who would give half they own to be in Pearl Peden Oldfield’s place. And Pearl Peden _. Oldfield would i~ gladly give more 2| than half of her A possessions if she ¥ could walk out of 2 her office back into T, the normal life of ~ 9| a woman who was 7~ greatly _interested {"in her home and husband and find the complete sat- isfaction and per- fect contentment she once knew. Mrs. Oldfield is a member of Con- gress. She repre- sents the second district of Arkan- sas in the House. She succeeded her husband, the late William Allan Old- fleld, Democratic whip. At & special election she was chosen by the people in her district to fill the unexpired term of her husband in the Beventieth Congress and also was elected on the same day to the seventy- first session. Mrs. Oldfield found herself thrust in- to politics almost without warning. She’ frankly admits that she doesn't like it. Only her sense of duty sent her to the seat in Congress vacated by her distinguished husband. She was nominated without opposi- tion by the members of her party. Re- publicans in the district met and de- cided that they would offer no opposi- tion. She had only one opponent, a man running on the independent ticket. Without even so much as issuing a statement in support of her candidacy she was elected. It was a bewildered and rather fright- ened woman who stood before the Speaker's stand last January on the floor of the House and swore that she would faithfully discharge her duties s & national legislator. Neither club work nor social affairs had played much of & part in Mrs. Oldfield’s life. To use her own words, “There had been perhaps nothing con- nected with my life, from a public view- point, particularly colorful.” She had kept herself informed con- cerning public affairs. Her husband had _always_discussed his legislative problems with her. Especially w true the three years preceding Mr. Oldfield’s death. She says: “The interest I have in the public welfare is due to him.

Rather would he sit and listen, and then express his opinions in private where they would be the most effective. He says his desire to remain in the background has been broken only once. But that one time he did cause conster- nation. So abrupt and unconventional was the departure that he will remem- ber it for a long time. It happened in the early 80's, when he was station baggagemaster at a lit- tle town of Rosenberg, Tex. In addition to his duties as baggage- master he also was a car recorder. Be- tween the two he was kept busy, and since he had only one assistant he was required to work 12 hours every day. His offices were in a box car which served as the waiting room for passen- gets, There was no hotel or rooming house nearby, so Mansfield and his as- sistant had constructed sleeping quar- ters in the car. This had been done by placing a few boards over the joists on which was spread a mattress. Mansfield from his youth had been & somnambulist. It was a common thing | for him to stir in his sleep. Once he found himself in the raflroad yards fully clothed doing some work. On the night i) 4 question his assist- ant was at work and Mansfield was in bed. A storm was raging outside.

Mansfield was partially aroused on the perch above, where he had been unobserved by those below. In his drowsiness he got to his feet and started walking. Soon he stepped on & loose board. Tt kicked up from the other end and like a flash he was spilled into the midst of the crowd below, Pandemonium broke loose. The troupers thought that either an angel | had suddenly descended in their midst | or else the car had been struck by a thunderbolt.

A THE EVENING Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. May 29, 1858.—Considerable anxiety is felt by many persons living in the immbdiate vicinity of the United States Capitol about the measure now pending in Congress for an extension of the Capitol gardens. Hundreds of property holders are in a state of suspense as to the amount of ground o be embraced in the proposed enlargement and whether their own individual inter are to be involved in the change. Doubtless there are m who are ! anticipating a fine windfall by the posed action of Congress, and look upon their fortuncs as secured in ad- vance, while others are anxiously al- ternating between hope and fear. Another class there is, however, who Jook upon the matter in a far different light and who care little for the pecu- niary advantage which will accrue to them by the purchase of their property by the United States Government. Of this class there are many. They are those who have secured for themselves comfortable homes, which they have beautified by their own industry over a period of years, and to which they have become attached by a multitude of do- mestic association: Th home own- ers are greatly annoyed by the proposed change. They are honestly solicitous as to whether they will be called upon to seek new homes for themselves and their families, which it will require the remaining portions of their lives to make pleasant and homelike, or whether they will be permitted to re- main in undisturbed possession of their snug cottages. Objections are being raised in some quarters to the proposed action of the corporate authorities concerning the distribution of water throughout the city, but they come mostly from persons who are not acquainted with the plan. Capt. Melgs, engineer in charge, noti- fied the corporations of Washington and Georgetown several months ago that water would be introduced into both cities in_December next, and a bill is now in Congress granting the use of the water to both corporations. government will contract a heavy finan- cial obligation for water mains, and that the inhabitants of the city will be taxed indiscriminately at the rate of cents per $100 on all property. But this would have to be approved by the peo- ple in an election. Home in Good Taste BY BARA HILAND. Lap boards have been more or less unheard of for the last decade or so, but now, like a lot of other old articles of furniture, they are coming into their own again. s There is a wealth of comfort in these little articles. To the invalid they mean & table top easily drawn into position on a chair or a surface which is flat and large enough for a dis g table on the bed. The old lap boards were somewhat larger than the new oncs, for they stayed at home all the time. But the new ones have “gone modern,” and we find that they travel along with the owners and_therefore must be made | small enough to fit into a traveling | case. Writing letters while on al steamer is made more convenient and pleasanter by the use of a little lap table of this kind, and the fascinating solitaire game may be spread upon it easily. “The finish of a board of this type may | be & stain and varnish or in such colors | of brushing lacquer as blue, green, yel low, black or Chinese red.

We've worn our hair short for many years now, and we're not going to wear it really long yet. We are, however, wearing it ever so much longer. If| | your hair has been kept very short and you want to make it grow guickly, the best thing you can do is to have the following tonic made up and use it every night. Precipitated Sulphur, 30 grains; carbon detergent, 30 drops; castor’ oil, 10 drops; alcohol (95 per cent), 4 ounces; tincture cantharides, 4 drams; cologne, 4 drams; rose water to make 8 ounces, g This is a good general tonic, which makes the hair grow rapidly and will make it thicker, It is the same tonic I use with one variation for all cases of premature grayness. When the hair has been going gray too fast I add 2 grains of pilocarpine hydrochlorate to this formula. Whie some people say that pilocarpine makes the hair go gray, other hair specialists use it to prevent grayness, and I personally have found it excellent in preventing premature gray hairs. This tonic should be used a couple of times a_week, even three times a week, and it should be rubbed in well each time. Besides this the scalp should be given a daily thorough rubbing with the tips of the fingers. With so stimu- lating a treatment the hair will have to be shampooed once in two weeks. Every second shampoo, that is, once a month, the scalp should be rubbed with a little oil, which should be given an extra thorough washing. Treatments of this kind prevent of cure dandruff. This alone would cause the hair to stop growing, for it cannot grow fast and it will not’ grow thick 1f there is any dis- eased condition of the scalp, and dan- druff, of course, is a disbase, The hair grows from 6 to 12 inches | & year; healthy hair—that is, about an inch a month.

The lawyer who would talk of torts and leases when the sun goes down, will soon be shunned by dead game sports who are the bul- warks of the town. At evening, in the Blue Front store, no graybeard talks about his trade; we speak of happen- ings of yore, and of the horse trades we have made. We speak of miracles we wrought when we were young and strong and hale, and of the wondrous fish we caught, which took the shine from Jonah's whale. We talk of any- thing on earth except the errands we pursue, and we indulge in cheerful mirth while thus our harmless rags we chew. Last night the village vet blew in, and brought deep wrinkles to our brows; it seemed a shame, it seemed a sin, the way he talked of healing cow He' talked of horses lying low on bed: of pain, their doom decreed; he went to them through sleet and snow, and rescued every dying steed. He told of hens t0o sick to lay, so farmers had no eggs to sell; the doc, he went his shin- ing way and gave them dope that made them well. He talked of dogs and cais and swine that didn't function as the: and made their health sublimely good. He noticed when he'd talked an hour that all around him yawned and sighed, and every countenance was dour, and pale with wrath and frosty-eyed. He'll tell his dreary tales no more, since he beheld our faces grim; he knows that in the Blue Front store there is no welcome sign for him. WALT MASON.

Near the house she met two horse- | men, who pause. She knew Dr. Wil- liam Hamilton well; but the dark, graceful young man with him was a stranger. Dr. Hamilton made the intro- duction.” “My nephew, James Hamiit just out from Scotland.” he said. The doctor had to depart on a sick call. Rachel to ride home with her. gladly. On the way he made explanations. He was a younger son and had come to the West Indies to make his fortune. He had chosen the island of St. Christo- pher so that he might profit by his uncle’s advice. He and Rachel felt an immediate intimacy. But reserve fell upon the Jovely girl as she listened to his con- fidences.

When Hamilton heard the truth, it was too late to turn back. His heart already was hers. She loved him, too. They could not_marry; but they went to the nearby Island of Nevis. where Rachel owned a house, and lived openly as man and wife. Their first years, when their combined fortunes enabled them to exist in clegant ease, were happy in the extreme. But James, though lovable, was weak. He lost both her money and his own. He could not even hold a position as overseer.

The ouija board has almost passed Z| out of sight and mind. Some few years ago it was the rage, just as was mah- jong, the Chinese game, which came and went like any other fad. Nevertheless, many people are still mystified by ouija, which is a board on which the alphabet and various signs, also the words “Yes” and “No” in the upper right and left hand corners, re-| spectively, are written. The rest of the apparatus consists of a heart-shaped piece of board about 3 or 4 inches long, mounted on _three tiny wooden legs. This indicator is placed on the larger board. In operating the ouija usually two people place the tips of their fingers ever so lightly on opposite ends of the heart-shaped indicator and ask ouija some question, such as “Ouija, does Harry love Ethel?” And immediately the indicator goes to “Yes” or “No.” If the question has to do with figures, it will point out the various numbers and give the answer in that way. The same process is followed out in the case of answering questions requiring words which the indicator spells out by pointing to the various letters of the printed alphabet. The mystery and the puzzle consist in the fact that the people operating the pointer avow that they are not pushing it, that it moves of its own accord. Your muscles will act according to your innermost desire without any con- sclous effort on your part. And they are more reliable than your tongue. A man may deliberately lie with his | tongue, but his muscles will give him awa They always tell the truth. Unconscious and involuntary muscu= | lar activity accounts for the movements of the indicator on the ouija board. Of course, the ouija board can’t do any- thing of itself. It certainly can’t fore- | tell the future. The answer to the | questions registers the hopes and fears of the operators. The reason this sort of thing is possible is due to the di sigp of labor in the nervous system. THe muscles are accustomed to carrying out orders of the spinal cord and the automatic system without the notice or command of the central nervous system, which alone is conscious. If the ouija boartd has any value apart from the fun of seeing it do queer things, it consists in revealing what is on the mind of the operator. Hashed Brown Potatoes. Chop three cupfuls of cold, boiled potates into small cubes. Salt and pep- per to taste. Heat one-fourth cupful of fat in a small frying pan, add the potatoes and mix and stir them until the fat gnd potatoes are hot and well blenced. Press and smooth down with a kifife over half of the bottom of the pan. Let stand until well browned underneath, then loosen with a broad knife. Cover the pan and invert so that the potatoes will rest on the cover without disturbing the shape. Add more butter to the pan, slip the pota- toes from the cover to the pan with the uncooked side turned down, and let remain until brown on this side. Turn out as you would an omelet.
